Louisville Moves Up To No. 6 In Coaches' Poll

Andy Lyons

Despite a 14-point win over a well-regarded rival and losses by two teams ranked in front of them, the Louisville Cardinals remained at No. 8 in the Associated Press Top 25 this week. The coaches, however, took the more logical approach of moving U of L up to No. 6.

It's worth noting that the coaches' poll is the only set of human rankings factored into the BCS standings. The first BCS standings, by the way, will be released next Sunday.

Here are your polls for this week:
